Thanks Glad and Happy Winning New Year to you too. Is there a quick reference anywhere what stickies there actually are these days so I can bookmark for correct future tagging? (perhaps one sticky with all the relevant stickies on it?)

HAPPY NEW YEAR :beer:

Ugh, I logged into my competitions Gmail email account last night to find it had been accessed by someone in Russia! :mad: I've changed the password and added the two step verification (a text is sent to your mobile with a code each time you log into the account from a new computer).

Whoever it was will be a bit disappointed as I just use the account for comping so there's no personal information (that can't be easily found anyway) and no personal contacts to spam, but can I suggest to anyone else who uses gmail that they add the two step verification if they haven't already done so! I was just being lazy because I thought my password was pretty secure.

Hi. I got a little sick of forgetting to enter regular competitions last year...alsorts, web, FB, everywhere.
So I have set up a page on FB that only posts reminders for these...nothing else but automatic posts to remind people to enter if they want (and if they "like" a post it's a reminder that they antered that week or day).
It's an open group and the only posting on there that is needed is when a regular comp needs an answer or it changes in some way (like a bad link or it ending) which can be done as a comment to stop it getting cluttered.
The page is here http://www.facebook.com/pages/!!!!/321044567915608?sk=wall and all are welcome to use as they please or not...just please don't post n the wall and turn it into a discussion which will mess it up

Automatic Reminder Service for Everyone hopefully will make 2012 a little easier and provide some wins for us all

You probably won't recognise my name, I've been comping since end of Oct 2011 and Ive not been very vocal on the boards haha

Anyway! I wanted to wish each and everyone of you a very happy, healthy, wealthy and lucky new year!!!

Thank you all so much for posting competitions XxXxX

HI just want some advice please, i have seen some competitions on the hmv website

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/navigate.do?ctx=1000;-1;-1;-1;-1&pPageID=2753&clickID=hp010213

You have to be a member to enter them for free, but then i have just noticed that you have to pay £3 to become a member see here (i don't remember paying to join) anyway:

What do you think? can i still post them? or not bother?

Thanks
